Community Catalyst launched Voices 3.0, a multi-state health justice program, after wins on paid leave and coverage. A new data infrastructure will track results across states.
Community Catalyst, the health justice advocacy group, launched the third phase of its Voices for Health Justice program Tuesday. The initiative works with local organizations in roughly a dozen states on healthcare reform through organizing, policy advocacy, and narrative change.
Since 2021, the program has helped secure paid sick leave and expanded health coverage at the state level, the group said. It also protected child care access in some states. The new phase adds a data infrastructure called Health Justice Intelligence, which tracks what works and identifies patterns across states. The system treats stories as data, the organization said.
Linda Goler Blount, the group's CEO, said the program "has already delivered structural, statewide wins" and that the new phase lets the group "scale that model strategically." She credited the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for funding the effort.
Voices 3.0 will also involve the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and Community Change, working alongside partner groups in nearly a dozen states. Community Catalyst's data infrastructure will connect the work across states.
